LET POLITICIANS GRAFT o KvUlenre a to Campaign Con tributions Kvrr Laid Before Any Grand Jury, Kxcept by Accident. XKW YORK, April 29. District At torney Jerome, at the hearing of the charges ugainst him. before Commis sioner Richard U Hand, admitted today, during a colloquy with Krankltn Pierce, counsel for the petitioners for Jerome's removal, that no evidence as to cam paign contributions was ever laid be fore any grand Jury while he has been Vtstrict Attorney, except such as came out incidentally in other cases. The admission was made after Mr. Pierce had asked for the minutes of the grand Juries, which considered the insurance ases. and after Mr. Jerome had refused to produce the minutes unless ordered to do so by a Judge of the Supreme Court. Mr. Pierce had taken up charge No. 5. which is to the effect that Mr. Jerome was derelict in presenting the Insurance cases to the grand Jury. Mr. Pierce explained that he could not become aware of what the minutes contained unless he bad access to them. "Well," said Mr. Jerome, "there never "has been any evidence as to campaign contributions laid before any grand jury In the county while 1 have been Ilstrtct Attorney, during cither term of oftice. except Incidentally as it was mentioned in connection with other matters.'1 tiets What He Wanted. "That is Just what I want. Now I do not need the minutes you alluded to," said Mr. Pierce. Mr. Pierce then took up the matters contained in the sixth charge against Mr. Jerome. He said that on June 25, 1904. the New York Life Insurance Company sent to Kidder, Peabody A Company, of Boston. $930,000. and on June 27. 1904. that firm acknowledged receipt and stated that it was sending by registered mail to the Insurance company, $1,000,000 worth of Mexican Central Railroad Company, limited. I per cent gold bonds, purchased with the money In question. Mr. Pierce declared that these bonds were purchased by the New York Life Insurance Company and were disposed of by the' Boston concern in August of the same year at a profit of $40,000. This $40,000, he said, was transmitted, with interest on the bonds, the whole amounting to $40,193, to the New York Life Insurance Company on September 17, 1904. The transaction, he continued, appeared on the books of the New York Life Insurance Company as a purchase and sale by it of these Mexican bonds, but the books failed to show any profits therefrom. Not in the Books. These profits of $40,000. Mr. Pierce declared, were turned over to George W. Perkins, but the transaction did not at that time appear on the books of J. P. Morgan St Company, or upon any books of George W". Perkins, individu ally or otherwise. He read extracts from Mr. Perkins' testimony before the Armstrong Com mittee as to his right to receive the $40,000, and said Mr. Perkins gave no reason for receiving the money, except that he held it for a fund called the nylic fund, of which he was trustee, which fund was created by the salaries and bonuses of 220 agencies and direc tors. According to charge No. 6. Mr. Pierce said, the $40,000 was used by Mr. Per kins as his own money, no entry being made of the receipt as belonging to the nylte fund. The hearing was adjourned until tomorrow. FIXES TITLES IN KLAMATH PROBE FANATIC'S CRIME Coroner Holds Inquest on Murdered Girl's Corpse. EASTOX, Pa., April 29.

The House committee on territories today made a report on a bill to regulate liquor licenses In Alaska. It Is the purpose of the bill to break up what is known as "peram bulating saloons" In that territory. Here tofore, the retail licenses have been of a graduated character, ranging from $1500 a year in towns whose population is 1500 or over, to $500 in places whose pop ulation Is below 500. Under the bill re ported today a flat retail license of $1000 is provided and provision is made that no license shall be issued except in an Incorporated town or in one where there is a resident commissioner or United States Deputy Marshal. It is claimed by Governor Hoggatt and others in Alaska that under the present lew a saloonkeeper can pay a license of $500 and then move his saloon to any part of the territory as iong as he does not get into a town containing over 500 people. This system enables him to fol low construction camps and other small bodies of men, and It Is claimed that this practice has proved injurious. In the new bill the wholesale license re mains at $2000, as under the present law. Food Supplies for Fleet. WASHINGTON, April 29.

Portland People Testify In Land Fraud Case of Having Disposed of School-Land Right for Cash. v WASHINGTON, April 29. A sensation, not on the programme of either side, was provided in the Criminal Court today when H. F. Bartels, of Portland, Or., one of the witnesses called by the Govern ment to testify In the so-called land frauds investigation, suddenly became ill and lapsed into unconsciousness.

The Government continued today offer ing the same character f testimony with which most of the last two days have been consumed, Lillian York, of Portland, Or., and Fred Wittenstram, of Floe co, being the first two witnesses called. The latter stated that he sold his "school land rights" lor $1. Mrs. York, wife of Milton York, who testified yes terday, stated, however, that the signa ture of her name as it appeared on the application and assignment blanks, were forgeries. Objection was made by the defense to the testimony of Wittenstram, but the testimony was admitted under objection and exception. Eugene E. Page, an auctioneer of Portland. Or., testified that the signa ture of his name to an "application to purchase" and an assignment of the land claim was a forgery In each case. Clarence H. Ford, of Portland, stated that he received $5 upon disposing of his school rights, and exactly similar testi mony was given by Edward L. Aiken, also of Portland, who said his wife. too. received $5 for- disposing; of his school land rights. H. F. Bartels, a fire Insurance agent of Portland, identified his signature on pa pers of the same character, but he "could not remember" signing it.

Smith. Mr. Smith said last night that no other cause could account for his sudden fainting, unless it might be that the room in which he was at the time was badly ventilated.
